Maze Ransomware Encrypts Files - Learn How

1) Maze ransomware encrypts files on a system, adding a custom file extension including a victim ID, and places ransom notes in text and HTML files. 2) It spreads mainly through email spam and exploit kits, and actors exfiltrate encrypted data for further extortion efforts. 3) The ransomware code is highly complicated and obfuscated, making it difficult to detect with signature-based security solutions.

Maze Ransomware encrypts files and makes them inaccessible while adding a custom

extension containing part of the ID of the victim. The ransom note is placed inside a text
file and an htm file. There are a few different extensions appended to files which are
randomly generated.

Actors are known to exfiltrate the data from the network for further extortion. It spreads
mainly using email spam and various exploit kits (Spelevo, Fallout).

The code of Maze ransomware is highly complicated and obfuscated, which helps to
evade security solutions using signature-based detections.
